"You may consider using a higher voltage and optimize your propellors for the higher speed that will result from the higher applied voltage."
Several reasons why I don't want to do that, mostly because of time and cost:
1. Unfortunately in this application propellers get the best efficiencies...
The application is a small boat with two of these motors, so the motors could be on for hours. In most situations the motors might only see 200W, but in some situations, such as a headwind, the motors could see 350W for an extended period of time.
I've been told since I posted this that not...
I have some sealed servo motors that I would like to operate above their rated amperage. I wish to accomplish this by drilling holes in the endcaps and mounting a fan on the end of the motor.
I have a spare motor that I can destroy testing, so I can determine the amperage limits empirically if...
